As said, it doesn't piss me off so much as it makes me sit in complete bewilderment that stuff that cut and glued together can be created. It seriously sounds at the beginning like 7 different songs are being played at the same time by each individual band member.

Harry Belafonte's incredibly diverse discography is always a treat to listen to. Most folks know his calypso stuff, but his blues, soul and folk albums are incredible as well. His voice is just so damn smooth, and the arrangements are always lush and make for gorgeous listening. He could pull off any style of music. One of his albums, O Lord What A Morning, has a lot of old Negro spirituals on it and it is positively moving, especially considering the fucking ridiculous social situation of the country at the time that album was put out. The song O Freedom will move a man to tears. But I'd say his best album is either the intimate Quiet Room, which is a MUST for anybody looking for a good album to chill out to on a rainy Sunday afternoon, or Belafonte, which is so damn theatrical. Take My Mother Home is powerfully frightening.

If I listen to one song by Belafonte, I can't help but cycle through five or six of his albums afterwards. Same thing for Jethro Tull, Alexander Scriabin and Tom Waits.

Speaking of Tom Waits, how is Bad As Me faring with everybody now that we've had some time to marinate on it? Like most of his albums, I think it is lined with gold and studded with jewels, but there are a few songs on it that are pretty sub-standard. Last Leaf on the Tree, while I appreciate the lyrics, always bugs me. But goddammit if Chicago, Face to the Highway and Hell Broke Luce aren't classics on par with stuff from his best albums. Speaking of which, I was thinking about what the hell my favorite Waits albums are, and I'd probably have to say either Alice, Blue Valentine, or Blood Money.

I've only heard Aesthetica, but the music itself is just boring to me. It seems like he tries really hard to hype it up with the pseudo-philosophical drivel, but honestly the music is just inoffensive "post"-black stuff. There are two interlude sort of track on that album that are utterly ridiculous, though.

My mom got a new dog, a black lab, so I got to meet him for the first time as I'm visiting home for a week. She had to put him on a special diet because he's malnourished on account of the past owner only feeding him as much as she fed her cocker spaniel. How can someone be so ignorant?

That's downright stupidity. Such people need a 101 course on taking care of pets or better yet...shouldn't keep pets.

Labs especially need to be fed well and exercised a lot. I had a black lab in the 90s. Named him 'Wally'.

If I ever meet someone who abused animals, I would probably hit them. I would hit them really hard in the genitals, hopefully hard enough to cause those genitals to break, and possibly severe internal bleeding that leads to death. I'd use whatever was available to me to accomplish this vigilante act - axe, sword, thick branch, sledgehammer, regular hammer, Mjolnir, lead pipe, rusty rake, vacuum cleaner, baseball bat, hockey stick, broken whisky bottle, the kitchen sink, a giant pinchy crab, a jeep or my left foot.

I agree with you. And in other news, you missed the video of the mantis I posted few pages ago. It was primarily directed at you. Here it is again:

Agreed. How the hell does someone hurt a defenseless animal? It's just so sad.

My family has always had labs; when I was born we had a 110-pound yellow lab appropriately named "Biff." We've also had a few border collies, which started after we adopted a border collie/greyhound mix when I was in middle school. She had the prey drive and speed of a greyhound with the herding instinct of a border collie, so we'd usually just let her go nuts in our backyard (a ten acre field) alongside agility courses since she didn't enjoy playing fetch like our labs.

I'm doing my first internship in April, I met the teacher today, he has dreads and he's giving African percussions classes. He probably smokes pot, I'm gonna ask him at the end of the internship juuuuuuuust to be sure!

Yeah. I've only written one review that's been accepted, but for the online classes I take I always use Word before I submit anything.

Pot smoking professors are the best. My music app teacher slipped one day that he smokes and then had to clarify he has a medical card I mean it was kind of obvious though. The first day of class he had "Dazed and Confused" blaring at full volume on his speakers.

Normally when I do album reviews I do them in MA's text box that autosaves, but since the band I did the review for was only on Sputnik, I forgot to copy the review before submitting. I rewrote it, but it's a bit less detailed than what I originally wrote.

The very first review I ever tried writing that happened to me actually. Same site too. Apparently after staying on the textbox page too long the session times out and it will log you out. I spent 3 hours writing that review so it definitely happened to me.

In terms of food, I made my first omelette ever this morning. Egg, tomato, green pepper, and bacon. It was pretty damn good, and really damn big since I used four eggs and the biggest frying pan of the three we have in the house. Looked fucking ugly, but tasted so sweet.

All this talk about pizza is making me hungry. I guess i had better just go ahead and order a deep dish cause there isn't any way I'm eating anything other than pizza tonight now. I think the "pie" thing comes from the amount of sauce on them it is almost like a pie kinda sorta.
